Military!

When judging something, you have to judge it for what it is, to judge it based on how good it is at the stuff it's trying to do, not how bad it is at what it was never trying to offer and was never supposed to be good at. This is one of the anime where this is extra obvious, yet some people still judge it based on such things.

I feel like this show is actually pretty good, it offers exactly what it is supposed to. There's a lot of comedy and gags all the time, there's nothing serious going on and it's very episodic, ... meaning there's no real connection between anything and it's just separate scenes with short sketches. We don't get to know much about the characters except for what can be used as gags and this is just as it should be.

The comedy type here is kind of a mix of violence, sex/erotic jokes(usually stuff like seeing panties, girls getting embarrassed and violent, but also many other types) and some jokes where the characters do stupid or crazy things thats pretty much begs disbelief. I felt like it was pretty nicely done and I fully enjoyed the 40 or so minutes I spent watching this. Unlike some other people, I don't feel like the "fanservice"/"slightly erotic stuff" actually got in the way, I just felt it added to the show. It wasn't even anything crazy, every time something like that happened, it was just a setup for jokes and it's not as if it happened every ten seconds or anything. Fanservice usually has no purpose except being sexy and making teenagers horny, this wasn't like that at all. Unlike normal fanservice, it's also not unrealistic. The type of fanservice that pisses me off the most is the unrealistic crap, things like the idiot from to love ru who trips and strips people, that is, lucky pervert situations that happens too many times or in a too excessive way, or when womens clothes are destroyed in suggestive way in a fight for no reason or even more when women wear extremely skimpy clothing that is ridiculously impractical, like armor that looks more than bikinis than actual armor or just covers the area a bathing suit would, things that are obviously just to appeal to horny teenagers. Luckily nothing like that here.

So, I give it a 7/10, it fulfilled its purpose and made me laugh a few times. Since I felt like I wanted to watch at least an hour or two more of this stuff, I'd say it was good enough.

Military is a series of 3-minute shorts, containing chibis, heavy weaponry and tanks.

It consists of basically non-stop slapstick humour, over-the-top violence, sexual innuendos and military references. It's not really the kind of show that will make you laugh uncontrollably, but it does consistently manage to put a smile on your face when watching it.

Moreover since every episode is only about 3 minutes long, it's not like you will be losing out on much time for watching it so I reckon you might as well just give it a shot. It's a pretty reliable way to cheer up yourself if nothing else.

The series is presented in 12, 3.5 minute episodes which made it easy and quick to watch and fairly low commitment. The question then becomes what it will try and accomplish. Here, I believe that they tried for too much. In 42 minutes it tries to include something at least bordering on a harem, comedy, and fan service (more on this later), all while trying to retain some aspect of the military theme presented in the title. All in all, it is fairly successful in the comedy department, but the series still comes across as kind of disjointed, in reaching for so much the story ... behind it is occasionally lost (although this can be partially forgiven due to the format) only to finally be regained in the last episode in what seems like a final attempt to tie the antics, especially those later in the series, into the main plot.
The biggest downfall of the series however comes in its excessive use of fan service. I think it's only appropriate to quote the English subtitles from episode nine when I describe parts of the series as "boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs." Yes, many anime have the same sort of content, but a minute in a half hour episode is a lot less significant than a minute in a three minute episode. Now carry that time through nearly every episode. The sheer proportion of time they spend on showing breasts bouncing or panty shots, feels like they are dragging the viewer through the fan service and harming the story.
This is a good segue into the art of the series, nothing is really spectacular or noteworthy except for the character designs and, well, they're all over the place. The male characters are nothing spectacular. There are three chibi characters (all female) and then a few more female characters done in the same style as the males and then designed for maximum sex appeal. The lack of unified art style is distracting, especially at the beginning when only three characters were introduced. I guess the saving grace is that once they introduced the other characters they stopped trying to do panty shots of the chibi characters.
As for the actual development of the characters it was really two stories. On one hand the female characters and one of the male characters were well developed (especially for the length of the series's episodes). By the end of the seriesI had a pretty good idea of what each of the characters were like and I even ended up liking most of them. As for the other characters their lack of development would be forgivable except... One of the undeveloped characters was arguably the "protagonist." The guy who was at least partially responsible for the whole series to occur is a blank slate. Based on calling out the type of panties a girl is wearing when he sees them (among other things) I can only come up with pervert to describe him.

All in all, "Military!" is not terrible, but I wouldn't call it particularly good either. If you're looking for a quick, easy to watch comedy and don't mind sitting through lots of fan service go ahead and watch it. Despite its flaws it manages to be decently enjoyable and while definitely not a must watch there's no need to blacklist it
